My Heart is Breaking.......... I am sitting here in the quietness of the house, watching my mama slip away minute by minute. She has hardly stirred in the last 24 hours. Hospice was here late last nite making changes in the procedures so we are down to nearly nothing being given. Oxygen, morphine and the occassional swabbing of the mouth to keep it moist as well as the drops in the eyes so that the lids dont scratch the cornea's. Yesterday so many came in and out to say their goodbye's and to just love on her while they could. She woke for brief moments and said very little, mostly nodded and gave a little smile. She had said a few days ago that she wanted to make it thru Christmas and she did, she didn't want to disrupt plans that everyone had made! Four years ago when I came to this site I began writing on the magazine. I was living with mama at the time as my fiance had recently died and I was having a hard time with the healing process and what better place to be than with mama! Every morning or evening we would sit and I would read her the goings on at BC. She became familiar with the ones on the site and enjoyed most of the articles and would roll her eyes or shake her head when there was bickering. She didn't know how to use the computer and she didn't want to learn, said she didn't have time ( it actually interferred with shopping time ), but, she did write a couple of articles...well, she spoke and I typed. I stopped reading the articles to her this last time home from the hospital, except for the occassional positive articles. Being curious tho, she would ask at times and I would tell her it was just the same ol' same ol', and she would just shake her head. I'm not going to ask you to pray that her final moments will be peaceful and that her passing will be easy because that is already happening. But, I will ask that you say a prayer for my family. I can accept this because of my faith and I know that my mama is going to get what she has lived her whole life for....to be with Jesus. There are many in my family that are not walking with God and they are having a hard time so please pray for them that through this they will see the peace that she has had thru her life and will have a desire for it as well. I will leave you with one of mama's favorite sayings..... NO Jesus, NO Peace....KNOW Jesus, KNOW Peace FAITH...Even when I can't see, I still believe. |

Hello my friends, Just checking in to let you know that she is still here. Her sister came early this morning, she lives a couple of hours away and she spent most of this time just sitting, holding mama's hand and talking about their lives. Although mama slept through it I am sure she heard the words. So many tears have been shed today but all in all it's been a good day. Lots of love being passed around in this house! I thank all of you for your prayers and for your friendship it truly means a lot to me and I know that mama would want to give all of you a bunch of  If things are quiet I will be at the sing-a-long....Blessings. FAITH...Even when I can't see, I still believe.

"Thy will be done..." 9 ¶ After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
